Tech Registrations open...

Last week we ran our Tech-ed event for the US, and we have just opened registrations for Tech-Ed for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Various other parts of the world have their own Tech-Ed events (I'm jealous of Eileen getting to go to one in New

Top travel tip. Use the calendar. Properly

One of the things that we noticed on the roadshow was the *much* better system for getting us feedback (see here and here oh and here ) and - always looking for ways to improve our processes - a couple of us noted that there's a big document mailed out

You're not a professional without ...

I'm quite hardcore about Technet, having had it since 1993 myself I guess that's not really surprising. My sound bite is I expect a plumber to have a set of spanners. I expect a Doctor to have a stethoscope. I expect an IT professional to have access

The joy of feedback [again]

I make a point of saying at the roadshows that we read all the comments and take note of them I wanted to share one particular comment but first off I want to give you a flavour of what people said they liked at one of last weeks events; here they are,

Ah, the joy of feedback

As I mentioned before we're getting updates on the feedback from the roadshow: George has a report for us the next day. On one of our past roadshows I had a serious sense of humour failure about the speed we got feedback - the system then cost a fortune

Newton's third Law of presentations

"Every reaction to presentation has an equal and opposite reaction" Well I guess I asked for it yesterday, I think it worked very well to have 2 people presenting and bouncing off one another - makes a very big difference and kept things interesting!

On the road again ...

The whole team has been out on doing Technet Roadshows this week, first in Cardiff and then in London. I never like the first date of tour because, no matter how much we rehearse beforehand things don't click into place until we've gone through a real

Licensing event on 15th April

There's no getting away from it, licensing software gets complicated: in fact I've been know to joke that with 40 odd technical certifications and a degree in computer science, I'm nowhere near clever enough to understand it. Well help is at hand, George

We could be heroes ... just for one day.

Today's launch event was one of the best I've been to and the feedback from everyone I spoke to seemed to be the same. I'm typing after midnight that at end of ... well not exactly a perfect day. Besides leaving my camera at home, fatigue and the effects

Powershell in Birmingham

For those in the audience, the files needed for this demo are in my skydrive folder (link on the left of this blog in the "NEWS" box or use this link ).  Unfortunately having run through the demo for the last time I moved 3 files from my

Reasons to go to San Diego.

Eileen has already mentioned that she's going to San Diego (there's a song in there somewhere).  I've only been to San Diego once - the year I joined Microsoft - and it was jolly nice city for a conference, although after the flight back I asked

Will you be our hero ?

I've talked about my habit of "Brutal e-mail triage" before my equation for guessing the usefulness of a mail is 100 Log 2 (1+sentences_by_the_sender) / (recipients * Kbytes * Organizational-hops-from-me) A 1 sentence mail from Eileen scores about 10.

At the BETT show

One of my personality traits that makes me doubt my vocation as an evangelist is a general dislike of going to trade shows. The general hubbub being on my feet all day is my idea of purgatory.  Fortunately I don't have to stand, and the we've had

Search: A quick round-up

I've been meaning to have a play with Search Server since Viral demo'd it on the last roadshow. We have a downloadable VHD for it with a very good walk-through, I can say that honestly because I've just spent a couple of hours walking through it. Of course

One thing I didn't want for Christmas...

...was any kind of branded clothing. Since our cleaner decided to get out of the business, my shirts are ironed on a "Just in time" basis. Tidying up ahead of Christmas visitors meant moving a large pile of ironing: which reminded me just how many Microsoft
